After a two year absence from the .net, we are bringing back the Daily MiLB gamethreads back. And, for the first time in I'm not really sure how many years, we are going to place the threads on the main board for everyone's reading pleasure.

Hopefully, this move back will stimulate discussion and keep everyone abreast of who may be lurking as an injury replacement for the Boston Red Sox.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Awesome Cuz! One of my favorite parts of this place during the season, its absense was definitely felt.

Thanks for bringing it back and for all of the hard work you’re about to do!

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

This is genuinely exciting. Welcome back!

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Let's go Stank!

 

[DeweyWins]

As someone relatively new to this board but not to looking toward the future of this team, I will definitely be appreciating the intel, speculation, wonderment, and wistful prognostication that will come from these threads and posts.

 

[Merkle's Boner]

This is welcome news! Thanks Cuz!

 

[Manzivino]

Thanks Cuz! Christmas in April, this was the best feature of the site for a long time and I'm thrilled to have it back.

 

[ledsox]

Ditto! Excellent to have this feature back here. Thanks!

Some of the fondest memories of my SoSH life were the Buchholz/Bowden/Masterson ml years. The launching pad in Lancaster inflating the Lars-hype. Obsessing over Derrik Gibson's on-base abilities. The beginning of my lifelong baseball affair with Jed Lowrie. This feels right.

I feel the same, but more when Lester and Papelbon were pitching, and then of course one of the best nicknames in SoSH history was born: Buzzkill Pauley

 

[Detts]

WOOO! I get to say stupid shit like 'Mookie is too small to be a Major League BP' again! This made my day!

 

[burstnbloom]

This is the best news ever. Thanks, Cuz.

 

[Ramon AC]

Thank you Cuzittt. This is a great thing for the board.

 

[Rowdy]

Thank you! Definitely my favorite part of SoSH!

I missed these threads. Thank you for bringing them back!

 

[simplicio]

Fantastic news, thanks Cuz! Now that Poyner's up I need to find a new guy.

 

[BrooklynDog45]

MILB is back BIG!!! Thanks.

 

[pokey_reese]

Sons of Lars Anderson, indeed.

 

[Marbleheader]

Good to see Chatham get off to a good start after a lost year last season. I'd be pretty happy at this point if Ball ends up being a decent reliever.
